it is not even part of russia proper. they are pretty vulnerable right now which is why they are being jerks. >> but, joanne, it is obama's last year. they know they can do things. this is when they do this kind of stuff when you have a lame duck president, right? >> sure, yeah, i guess so. >> is that your policy? >> i think it is just lame all around. we will fly really close to you and then we will respond by saying that was lame, you guys. i don't know. we have much larger threats currently than close flying planes and vladimir putin's ego. i feel like even focusing on this, let's not. let's turn it toward the other huge problem. >> do you think if women were running the governments of the world we would have these things? >> it never happened, tom. no women. >> i will just say this. it will depend a lot on the timing. you can see it be a thermonuclear war if the timing was wrong if you get my drift. >> i know what you mean. >> i am not an anti-feminist to you ladies. >> i see what rob is saying. >> men only in charge

what is russia up to? stay close. >>> a massive earthquake is prompting a national emergency declaration in a tiny south american country, ecuador. the 7.8 magnitude rattler killed more than 200 people and injured at least 2,500 others. it's one of the strongest earthquakes to hit that nation in decades. and complicating all of this, the response, the damage is spread out across hundreds of miles. search efforts continue for people who may be trapped under mounds of rubble. we'll keep you posted as we learn more on that. >>> russia is messing with us. this is how our military officials are describing the latest move they just made. a russian fighter jet performed erratic and aggressive maneuvers as it flew within 50 feet of a u.s. spy plane's wing tip. that happened thursday over the baltic sea. the pentagon says the air force plane never entered russian air space. this comes only days after a pair of russian fighter jets flew dangerously close to a u.s. navy destroyer in the very same area. kristin fisher

and i want good relations with russia and have vested a lot in good relations with russia but we need to keep sanctions on russia in place until russia fully implements the minsk agreements that have been worked so hard to be maintained and provide a path for political resolution of this issue. and ultimately, it is my fervent hope that russia recognizes that true greatness comes not from bullying neighbors but by working with the world which is the only way to deliver lasting economic growth and progress to the russian people. now, our collective security rests on a foundation of prosperity to that brings me to my next point. the world needs a prosperous and growing europe that generates good jobs and wages for its people. as i mentioned before, the economic anxieties many feel today on both sides of the atlantic are real. the disruptive changes brought about by the global economy, unfortunately, sometimes are hitting certain groups, especially working class communities, more heavily. and if neither the burdens nor the benefits of our global economy are being fairly disrupted, it's -

i want to talk about russia as well. so we've seen provocation. i don't know, is there any other word you would call having russian jets buzz our warship and then come back for more, getting 50 feet off a wing tip of a u.s. air force plane. >> this is a planned provocation. i have dear friends the coast of which this incident occurred. kaliningrad turned from a beach resort to military installation. the people have been told expect war, it's coming. the russians have a strategy of provocation, destabilizing europe, taking over effectively parts of syria, creating the refugee crisis, facilitating the iranians n s not reigning in t north koreans, so our world in a dangerous point and where did the president if go? to argentina and before hand to cuba. >> what is the significance of that, pat? >> the significance of this that the world is blowing up around us as bill clinton reminded us web he left office it wasn't like this. >> he minded us two weeks ago. >> he trashed obama. >> he trashed obama. >> he did and nobody covered it because it would have

they were flights leaving to america, russia and france. america suffered the second highest death toll after belgium and now it seems as if that was more than just coincidence. according to french media, mohamed abrini told investigators that the bomber picked out those targets specifically. seeking to attack people from those countries. the attack killed four americans and wounded at least nine others. among them justin and stephanie schultz from gatlinburg tennessee. from corpus christi texas also died. the wife of martinez. today mohamed abrini appeared in court where a judge ordered he be kept in preventative detention for another month after slowing his peel pretrial hearing. according to media reports use a variety of rigs to hide from his captors despite having confessed to being the man in the hat, he now said he would never go to syria. he denied being radicalized and claimed he would never hurt a fly. though the brother of one of those killed soon after his death that his life that had been taken away and the more we learn about

. >> and you're not talking about russia. rich, the fact is, russia has a lot of interest all over the world right now from the middle east back to their own areas. we remember what they did to ukraine and these flyovers were really disturbing, were they not? >> yeah, they were very disturbing and steve just nails it as he always does. the collapse of oil and gas prices around the world is has dealt a devastating blow to russia's economy and they're trying to either distract us or become terror torly acquisitional. we have to spend better in our defense spending. we spend a trillion dollars on an f-35 next generation fighter jet and nobody likes it. why can't we get elon musk and jeff besos to design this jet. >> that's not a bad idea. john, what do you think of that? >> i think that would be just as bad of an idea as it would to be to increase military spending. i don't see what interest we have in the south china sea. do we think china wants to commit economic suicide by tangling with us and shrinking the biggest market in

russia is writing checks that the body can't cash. that is a really -- >> well, that is good actually. >> they did not say that. >> i would expect them to -- >> actually they said, this is entirely inconsistent with the professional norms of militaries operating in proximity to each o other in international waters. far less provocative. i want to go to the expert on the panel. and so was that uncalled for? >> well, it is uncalled for. it is like i ran into a boyfriend holding hands with another woman, and this is not cheating, but preparing for it. and we bumped the monkeys, but it is within the rules, so it is okay. >> you have to are prepare for the eventualities. >> yes are. >> and mike, maybe you know something about it that -- >> bump monkeys? >> that is like dry humping. >> oh, my. >> and so each -- >> well, if each person was equipped with the monkey they would do that? >> well, we all have monkeys, but just different types of m monkeys. >> we can just carry on with this. >> and you have been all around the world, and you have

and that has prompted some in russia and china to say we need to keep up. are you concerned that what we've done in the united states have undermined some of the progress you've made on the prevention side? >> i think it is a legitimate question and i am concerned. here's the balance that we've had to strike. we have a nuclear stockpile. we have to make sure it is safe and reliable. and after the there s.t.a.r.t. treaty with russia, we have brought down the number of weapons that are active. but we have to make sure that they're up to date. that their command and control systems that might have been developed a while ago are up to snuff given all the technology that has changed since that time. and we have to make sure that our deternls continues to work. so even as we brought down the number of weapons that we have, i've wanted to make sure that what we do retain, functions. that it is not subject to a cyber intrusion. that there's sufficient confidence in the system that we don't create destabilizing activity. my preference is that would it bring down fur

harris: senator shaheen said what's happening on the ground in syria with regard to russia? donald trump talked about that sort of reallocation and relooking at -- i don't want to say reset, because that was not his word -- with russia. but he is even sensitive to the fact that we've got to kind of relook at what our relationship is with russia. >> and i think his imagery is who do you want sitting across the table from the russian leader with no shirt on and, you know, what a tough guy he is, do you want hillary clinton sitting there or me, donald trump? kennedy: and he's railing against globalism which makes people think he's a protectionist and an isolationists. you can't at the same time say we have to take a more complex look at what's happening in the middle east. first of all, he laid out the case for blowback. he said we were the cause of the mess in syria, iraq and libya. and, you know, he also has to take a look at the gains that russia is making with the syrian army. >> agreed. [laughter] harris: wow. twice in one hour. >> agreed. meghan: a marine discharged after

it seems that russia has been conducting provocative acts lately and our u.s. navy expressing concerns about russia's increased submarine activity. what are the russians up to? >> they're using military capabilities to demonstrate strength. they are taking advantage of the weaknesses they perceive exists in europe and the united states. they've had three successful interventions. one in crimea, one in eastern ukraine and the most recent one in syria. very little opposition to that and no response from the united states and europe of any consequen consequence. the russians want to weaken the resolve between the united states and europe. the so-called transatlantic leak. and ultimately, they truly want to put pressure on nato. that's where they're heading. it will be a while before they get there. that's what this is all about. they actually do want to force the collapse of nato. and these are steps towards that objective. >> and it seems like they're constantly taking the steps. as you know nothing is done without vladmir putin's approval. what's his strategy be

what about russia not being there? >> their sticking that in the eye of the president. this is the president's initiative but i think this is the fourth meeting they had. the tension between russia and the united states and is not going to go there and kowtow to this residence initiative. i'm always speculating but that work is harder than it is, we have serious sticker disagreements with the russians particularly over the recruit ukraine, or the baltics and eastern europeand i think that's at the heart of this . heather: we have time for one more question but this is all coming about along with two other things. we have around and their ballistic missile testing and we have north korea as well. both in violation of un sanctions. we have the iran nuclear deal, which one would you like to respond to or you can you responsible? >> the more serious issue is around and the fact that we made a nuclear deal with them but it has not stopped their adventurism, has not stopped their aggressiveness in pursuit of their goal which is domination of the middle east using proxies that

which was the opposite of the goal of the russia reset, republicans by highlighting these issues could turn her experience into a liability potentially. >> laura, i want to turn to another hot spot. president obama travels to saudi arabia this week. and there was a fascinating story in "the new york times" yesterday that top saudi officials had said that they are prepared to sell off hundreds of billions of dollars in their assets that they have here in the united states if congress goes ahead and passes a law that basically says that saudi officials, saudi government could be liable in any suits involving 9/11 and the role they might have played in 9/11. your thoughts about that? >> well, it's dangerous for the united states, frankly to go into so much debt where we're borrowing money and we're printing these treasury bill, bore rogue money, obviously a huge amount of money from china. but obviously saudi arabia. $750 million isn't a drop in the bucket. it's 3/4 of a billion dollars. whether saudi arabia will do this or not, we don't know. it would actually hurt them to do it. however

. >>> i would have to point to russia. if you look at the behavior, it is nothing short of alarming. >> putin is all about how do you reestablish russia as a world power, a power to be reckoned with. you won't ignore us anymore. we'll be a playing. and by the way, doing all that, i can poke the united states in the eye. i will leap at the chance. >> he is somebody that if you don't deal with him from strength, he will try to take advantage of you. that's the way he operates. >> talking there about vladimir putin. and provocative actions he may take. he has taken. well, there were another couple of those actions this week. russian war planes configured in simulated attack profile buzzing the decks of the u.s. guided missile destroyer. not once but twice this week. the u.s. military and navy describing it as a very aggressive action. the uss donald cook was conducting flight operations with a polish helicopter monday when two russian su 24 attack aircraft approached at an unsafe speed. buzzed the navy destroyer as the helico

and today, russia is emboldeneded. secretary panetta and others have told us that you can and he told me very bluntly that ukraine as a nonnato country living in the shadow of russia will always be subject to russia dominating and what he's doing there is basically signaling that this is not work worth the united states investment. >> then there was barack obama's overture to the muslim world where he hoped to change the image of america. he had pulled american troops out of iraq without a stay-behind-force that had been recommended by his military advisers. but without a u.s. presence, violence immediately returned across the country. neil ferguson, professor of history, remembers talking to veterans of the war. >> they had turned it around to be told the mission was being aborted must have been a shattering blow. >> the iraqis, of course, couldn't leave. some found another cause. >> many of them wound up eventually working with isis to create the force that ultimately came back and invaded that part of iraq that they

look at the relationship he has with russia. russia didn't even appear today. the most cruise country not only to the united states but the world are the powers nuclear summit today. russia, north korea, and others. so, the fact is that this wrong. so for him to say donald trump doesn't have it right best. >> wereñ>j(Ñ you surprised,cúñ n this is a big nuclear summit. 65 leaders of the world there all eyes on president obama and he references donald trump. surprisedkr9q given how much attention this has had in the united states. and the president also mentioned÷%. in+ j his answer tt everyone in the world pays @ american politics. it's not just strictly a domestic issue. when yout do have anybody on any side of the aisle as an4e9 candidate saying things like another candidate that said let's make the sand employee it's quite alarming to the not the best obama speech we have seen.l; measured, talked about balance. he got quite in the weeds in his 45 minutes of around the worldi0dp discussion. heg."9 clearly showed that he has expertise, if not people don't

a new outlook on russia. the iran nuclear deal. and radical islamist threat with the goal of making it clear the u.s. seeks to destroy the islamic state savages. we're also hearing mr. trump's campaign has done a lot of bulking up his foreign policy team. tony, i'm coming straight to you. are these the key points? are they hits absolutely where they need to. >> absolutely. donald trump is known thus far for having strong populist message against wall street and economic system that doesn't help the middle class rise up. he has populist foreign policy message. very anti-interventionist. not for nation-building that goes directly against the republican establishment orthodoxy of the whole neocon idea we can to into these country, preemptively. we should stay there, build nations up. should remain in terms of resources and troops in those regions. i think trump is actually on the same page as the majority of the american people. his issue is, has he articulated it well enough, has he gone deep enough, has he been thoughtful enough? th

vis-a-vis russia. it's true, she had the great reset button gaffe, where they mistranslated the word "reset" into russian. the problem is hillary clinton is willing to negotiate with people, as long as they're negotiating in good faith. i think the people around hillary clinton are now saying, look, putin is a bully. he's going to see how far he can push us. and until he gets some push back, they're going to continue pushing. i think bernie sanders, a man, by the way, who honeymooned in the former soviet union, is much, much less aggressive, much less interested in foreign policy. bernie sanders is more interested in fighting economic elites than he is fighting isis or standing up to the russians. that's just the facts on the ground. >> what would that -- what would that relationship look like? president vladimir putin and a possible president bernie sanders, especially on the heels of making the comment that vladimir putin is a bully? >> well, look, i don't think that's going to happen. i don't think
